We stayed at the Colombe d'Or for our 25th anniversary, and we had booked the Van Gogh suite in the main mansion. What an amazing experience! The atmosphere is very European, and our room was so nicely decorated and comfy. The hotel staff had prepared two very special attentions, beautiful flowers and an exquisite bottle of Champagne. The swimming pool on the 10th floor terrace has an absolutely stunning view on Downtown. We also enjoyed a delicious breakfast in the main restaurant. Last but not least I must praise the staff kindness. All in all, it was the ideal place to celebrate our 25th anniversary.

From arrival at the fabulously restored Fondren Mansion and through our stay the staff were professional, pleasant, and attentive. Our tower king suite was sleekly elegant and well appointed. Amenities were delightful and linens luxurious. The location was ideal for our meanderings through nearby museums. A highlight for us was the impressive art throughout the property and, especially, the lovely sculpture garden. We are fans!

“I would stay again, but maybe not the bungalows.”

It is a beautiful hotel. I was put in their bungalows, which is nice, but definitely a bit of a hike from the front entrance. Which was no issue until check out. I requested luggage service from the concierge. After waiting about 30 minutes, I went to call back, but my room phone was not working… lisää

It is a beautiful hotel. I was put in their bungalows, which is nice, but definitely a bit of a hike from the front entrance. Which was no issue until check out. I requested luggage service from the concierge. After waiting about 30 minutes, I went to call back, but my room phone was not working anymore, so I had to pull my luggage down the sidewalk along the street to the front of the hotel to get my vehicle. I was not easy. When I got there, the valet/bellman apologized that the concierge sent them to the wrong bungalow. Other than that experience, it was a lovely stay.

“Great hotel needing some attention to service issues in the bar.”

One of my favorite boutique hotels. I love the paradox of the old mansion with the upscale modernity of the Tower. This hotel also features one of my favorite bars. Small and quaint with a green-dominant color scheme that sets up a perfect bar mood. But, there's been a fair bit of staff turnove… lisää

Small and quaint with a green-dominant color scheme that sets up a perfect bar mood. But, there's been a fair bit of staff turnover at the hotel, particularly the bar. On my last visit (December 2025) there was only one bartender, and he was often AWOL to the chagrin of many a patron (including me). I am told there is an ongoing talent search, so perhaps the issue will be remedied in the near future. Otherwise, the staff is generally very professional and service-oriented.
